Modern nations hate their past, despise the present and indifferent to the future. It is unlikely that such an attitude leads to something good. Mikael Minasyan, former Ambassador of the Republic of Armenia to the Holy See, wrote about this in Telecramyan wave, the full post of which is presented below.
"And why, why is the past, that is, the story causes such anger?" Because history is not a teacher, but a controller. He teaches nothing, but he brutally punishes for not accustomed to lessons.
And what do nations do when it is no longer possible to avoid the consequences, but there is no power to change the reality? At that time, the protection mechanism of collective composition is intensified. "New" history is invented, the facts are distorted, the society consciously rejects its own subjectivity in favor of the victims, that is, "we are the victim of the circumstances." It stops being an acting person and turns into an object, eternal victim. After all, it's so convenient.
Since 2016 (and especially since 2018) there was no thing that did not happen, not to be written, did not speak. Everything that happened (and takes place) was publicly done, registered in real time and supported by the majority. Everything that happens is the result of the processes in which the whole society has actively participated.
And the main thing here is not to impede, the public has not stopped its participation. In silence, denying his participation in everything that took place and took place with all this flee, it still participates in all these processes. Is there a way out? I'm sure there is. Undoubtedly yes.
* Victim, worldview or behavioral attitude, in which man considers himself solely victim, often avoiding responsibility.
